Who else here is sick and tired of getting either E. coli or salmonella poisoning from *well cooked/baked* flour?! Is it just me???

PS. If you truly know how to avoid this problem while still using flour in your at-home cooking or baking, could you please tell me how you've managed that? I seriously need help with this. I want to use flour in my kitchen, but gee whiz, what's the point if I'm only going to keep getting sick from it?

#Montana - #StoneChildCollege dedicates new #FlourMill

by Tim McGonigal, Sep 24, 2025

BOX ELDER — "A flour mill nearly a decade in the making was officially dedicated at Stone Child College on the #RockyBoyReservation on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, marking a significant milestone for tribal #FoodSovereignty and health initiatives.

"Tribal and state leaders joined agricultural experts for the ribbon cutting ceremony, celebrating the completion of a project that faced several delays, including disruptions from COVID.

"#BigSandy organic farmer Bob Quinn collaborated with tribal stakeholders to secure the grant funding that made the mill possible. Quinn specializes in ancient #KamutWheat, which is now being grown on the reservation and serves as the primary ingredient for the mill's flour production.

"The flour mill represents more than just agricultural infrastructure for the community. Leaders hope the locally-produced flour will contribute to improved health outcomes on the reservation, where #diabetes and other diet-related health issues are growing concerns.

"The project demonstrates the potential for tribal communities to develop #sustainable food systems that address both economic development and public health challenges through locally-controlled #agriculture.

" 'So we're able to actually grow it, bring it in, mill it, and now we're developing the food chain around it and getting it into the schools and getting it into the commodity program and into the lodge and to the casino. Any place where there's food distribution, we should be there with our with our food. And so #Kamut flour is just, one of the value added products that we're doing,' said Jason Belcourt, #RockyBoy Sustainability Coordinator."

Stone Child College dedicates new flour mill

Stone Child College hosts ribbon cutting for mill producing flour from ancient Kamut wheat grown on reservation

Water has powered industry for centuries. This undershot waterwheel powered a flour mill. One of a number on The Whanganui river, but the only one restored.
Something about waterwheels, belts and flywheels is so simple yet so productive in producing power.
And it is a constant source in a river.
Just like generating electricity, but with no middle man.
Hmm.
